Honda's six-cylinder beast sent the Japanese firm roaring into the 1980s. [[Honda|Honda]] has never been shy when it comes to showing off its technological prowess. The NR750, [[Honda CX500|Honda CX500]] Turbo, Rune and more pay testament to that. But one of its first, biggest and, arguably best moments was the launch of the CBX1000Z six cylinder in 1978. | |||
All Honda's mechanical know-how went into the engine to make the 24-valve, DOHC behemoth a super smooth, torque-laden beast. | |||
It's a shame more technical authority wasn't stamped into the rolling chassis; the lack of braking power didn't mix with a bike that weighed in at 272.1kg fully gassed. As a result, any sporting pretensions didn't last long and soon enough the fully faired CBX1000B/C tourer rolled up complete with motoshock rear suspension and decent brakes to match the performance. | |||
In terms of desirability the first CBX1000Z is the one to go for, preferably in vibrant red rather than the dowdier silver option. | |||
